Movers in Strathcona
Heritage houses on narrow lots, steep front steps and lane access in one of Vancouver's oldest neighbourhoods.
Strathcona is one of Vancouver's oldest residential neighbourhoods, with wooden heritage houses on narrow lots, many of them divided into suites. Expect steep front steps, narrow hallways and tight interior stairs, plus lanes behind most houses. It sits next to Chinatown and the industrial streets near the port, so traffic and parking vary block to block. We plan whether to load from the street or the lane and protect old floors, banisters and door frames as we work.

Tell us if you have lane access. Loading from the lane is often easier than the street.
Protect old floors by clearing rugs and runners we can lay down during the move.
Coordinate with other suites in the house so the entrance and lane are clear.
